Sebastian Steinberg showed up on William Shatner’s latest CD, Has Been on a handful of cuts playing bass. It’s an amazing record featuring the likes of Joe Jackson, Ben Folds, Aimee Man, Lemon Jelly, Henry Rollins and Brad Paisley. Totally a strange & quirky record, but is interesting and well put together, none the less.

Mike Doughty just signed a deal with ATO Records (David Gray, Gov’t Mule, Ben Kweller, My Morning Jacket, etc…). Skittish and Rockity Roll will be re-released as a two-disc package (talk of unreleased tracks to be included) and there will be a new studio album coming in Spring 2005.

Sebastian Steinberg is on tour again with Yerba Buena. Be sure to check them out in a city near you – they are an incredible latin hip hop funk band.

We are happy to announce the release of our Soul Coughing Live series. One of the most unique cult bands of the ’90s, Soul Coughing anchored a new crop of quirky, unclassifiable bands that emerged in the post-grunge era. Their live shows were legendary and these 5 2 CD sets were hand picked and compiled by keyboardist Mark De Gli Antoni. If you are the superfan and want to get all five albums check out the 4 out of 5 deal. Enjoy.
